Earlier this month, a heavy snow warning was issued in central Tokyo for the first time in four years. The Japanese capital often sees snow once or twice a winter, but significant accumulations are rare. While the heavy snowfall did cause disruptions to normal life, it also allowed shutterbugs to capture Tokyo blanketed in snow.

We all know that Tokyo is a stunningly beautiful place. But these pictures show how captivating it looks during a snowy night.
